I. General presentation

First of all, I would like to apologize for my english and for the french in the screenshots.

I am a huge fan of fantasy update. This one I made (with the help of others people) during the last months is one of those. I hope you will enjoy it, at least as much as I enjoyed created it. I called the Gaia project.

The Gaia project brings you to an alternate universe where there is no more the players and the competitions we used to know.

Exit CR7 and Messi
Exit the Premier League
Bye-bye the FIFA World Cup.

320 clubs have been created and separated in 16 new countries. Each team has a particularity, it creates newgens with dual nationalities (one nationality from Gaia, one real nationality)

The 16 countries of the update can be separated in 2 categories:

1) The ones with nationalities according to geographic repartition

- Soloriore : From the latin "Rising Sun", asiatic nationalities
- Nordik : Easy to guess, nationalities from Scandinavia, baltics countries + Russia + Alaska + Canada
- Megaokeanos : Frome the Ancient Greek "Great Ocean", oceanian nationalities
- Marenostrum : From the latin "Our Sea", name given by the Romans to the Mediterranean Sea, mediterranean nationalities
- Abya Yala : Name chosen in 1992 by the Native Americans for the American continent, Central and South American nationalities
- Melagea : From the Ancient Greek "Black Land", African nationalities
- Tropico : Not very hard to find, caribbean nationalities (+USA)
- Ereb : From the phoenician Europe, European nationalities (except the North countries and the Mediterrannean ones)

2) The ones with nationalities according a specifity (Cultural, Geopolitical...)

- Micro : From the Ancient Greek Little, nationalities from the smallest countries in the world (San Marin, Monaco...)
- Panorama : Nationalities from country with a natural wonder (Niagara Fall, Krakatoa...)
- Architectura : Nationalities from country with an architectural masterpiece (Eiffel Tower...)
- Imperia : From the latin Empire, nationalities from country with a ancient great empire
- Gasteria : From the Ancient Greek Stomach, nationalities from country with a food or drink known worldwide.
- Trademark : Nationalities from country where come from the biggest companies.
- Theos : From the Ancient Greek Gods, nationalities from country with one kind of religion.
- Scire : From the latin Knowledge, nationailities from countries where come from the greatest scientists.

Matchs rules

Each club has one identity, I set rules to respect a minimum this identity. These rules apply for every club competition (national & continental) :

The rules are 5 foreigners max per team and 5 homegrown players among the selected team for every match.

Continental Cups

C1 : Gaïa Champions League = 16 national league winners

All Trademark teams are owned by a Sugar Daddy and have top infrastructures. However, transfer costs in this country are huge.

For a better understanding of each club identity, take a look of the one of the best clubs in the world (according to the previous screens)

http://i.imgur.com/I9fRrIo.png


South Korean players with Trademark dual nationality. The club will produce mainly this kind of binational players.

The best club player (125 CA) is 43m€ at 18 years (the same kind of player is 15-20M€ in Marenostrum, the second most reputed country)

To finish, a little summary of the International competitions

International Cup (Summer 2015) : 16 Gaia countries in a WC style competition
International League (Sept 2014 - Nov 2021) : 16 Gaia countries and around 220 real countries in a competition in 3 steps with a league at each turn.
Gaia Series (Summer 2017) : 16 Gaia countries in a NBA playoffs competitions (3 matchs per turn)
Continental Tour (Summers 2018-2019-2020-2021) : 16 Gaia countries and 48 best countries of each continent in a WC style competition (Oceanian countries are moved in Asia)

And the cycle begins again
